I took it to Kinko's and cut a few mm from each edge and then it was easy to apply and so far working well (just about 60 days so far). its firm enough to apply easily.

good luck.

I dont feel a need to use a screen protector. Also dont on my iPad or iPhone.

It reminds me of grandma putting plastic on her couch and chairs :) We buy these items to use them...if they get damaged they can be repaired and or replaced.

Nushield offers a screen protector film that eliminates glare off the screen and lets you read the display even when you are wearing polarized sunglasses. I have it on my iPhone and iPad and it works great outside as well as on my nav display. It is easy to install and does not look or feel like grandma's vinyl couch.

Considering how much it costs to replace a scratched display system, the NuShield film is a worthwhile investment.www.nushield.com

Aserenyl,
Is the NuShield DayVue film an antifingerprint surface as well or just an antiglare surface?

The NuShield DayVue film does attract fingerprints which are easily wipeable due to the film's antireflective coating. NuShield does have another film that my wife prefers on her iPhone which is the Triple A film that has an antiglare, antifingerprint and antimicrobial coating on it. However, this film makes the screen darker in direct sunlight where you can't read the display. It also does not work well with polarized sunglasses.

I'm like DouglasR, have had my car almost 3 months and still didn't take the plastic off that Tesla put on... :)

Do you still have the plastic wrap on your latest sofa? From 10 yrs. ago?

@Brian H
I agree (and clearly, you don't sleep.)

I think Tesla would offer it as an option if they felt is was needed. They offer paint armor.

I used this inexpensive matte anti-glare screen from Ebay.http://www.ebay.com/itm/130539204241?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3...
Had to trim off 1/4 inch from the length and 1/8 inch from the width for good fit.
I bought 2 since they are so cheap. First one to practice and try out the size. Best to apply with latex gloves on so that you don't accidentally put finger prints on the screen and or the touchscreen. It took me a few trials to align it perfectly.
My main reason for putting this matte anti-glare screen on is because it doesn't show finger prints which required constant cleaning.

Forget the protector and just drive with the gloves on ;)

I'm just going to use the soft tip of my finger rather than the end of a house key to operate the screen...

Fingerprints aren't the only things that show. Pollen here is unbelievable and accumulates every day and shows in direct sun light. Very distracting at noon, actually. Hope this matte screen is also anti static. I'd go or it..

I put it on after a few days and haven't noticed any difference between it being there or not. I'm one of those folks that clean my phone and touch screens religiously, so it gives me some piece of mind. I'm really not sure it's needed as a friend of mine has never used one and his screen (2 years old now) looks great when he bothers to clean it... anyway, can't hurt I say.

There is of course a screen cleaning mode that does not react to the cleaning.

I have found that the screen generally responds to a touch of a fingernail, leaving no prints.

Anyway, every time I try to put a screen protector on a screen, I get air bubbles. Just not skilled enough for that operation.

Me too. I had a hell of a time nudging most of those bubbles out.

My tint guy put a complementary one on when he filmed my car. I think I prefer the gloss look, rather than matte finish of the protector.

I've had the Prestige Glare Shield for a while now. Works great! No glare or smudges. It was $80 with the install (I was getting the Prestige PhotoSync window tint at the time anyway). I wipe it down every once in a while just because it seems like I should, but there's never actually anything to wipe down :P

Do they make one for my 70" TV? :-)

@Grinnin - It's simple to remove air bubbles from screen protectors.

- Apply one drop of dish washing liquid to a spray bottle full of water and mix.
- Mist the screen with the mixture and apply the screen protector.
- Use a credit card or a small wedge to squeeze out the trapped water.
- Wipe off excess water from the edges of the screen.

@LostInPA - Buy multiple 17" screen protectors!

There are 2 and 4 mil laminates that could do it. Buy why???

Thanks for your suggestion. I wouldn't be surprised if that would work.

However, the instructions that came with my screen protector clearly indicated that they do not recommend using any solvent on the screen. I believe that is consistent with Tesla's recommendations on cleaning the screen.

I just followed the manufacturers' recommendations.

Mathew98 |

Solvent? It's not even a tenth of a percent of dish washing liquid by volume.

It's just enough to form a slippery liquid mixture to apply the screen protector.

Yes, please follow the instructions given and keep seeing the air bubbles.

I've use this mixture to apply to smart phones, window tinting, and other applications. You can also buy a premix bottle that comes with a window tint kit for 10 bucks.

Try it on your smart phone and see if it warps your glass screen...

@ Matthew98 - Why? Seems to make as much sense to put a screen protector on a house TV as a car computer screen. I'm surprised someone hasn't created a thread on bedazzling their Model S. P85D in "pink" would be to die for.

I know I am very late for this conversation but I wonder if anyone has any good recommendations of tempered glass screen protector for the iPad Air. The one on my iPad Air is cracked and I need to replace it with a new glass. I've searched and find some quality candidates. However, they don't have size to fit the iPad Air but for other newer iPad generations. Maybe iPad Air is too old with few users, very few manufacturers add its accessories to the product line? If you have any resources, please let me know. Thanks
